Car pics too cool not to share

I believe so. I'd consider that a one-year only car.
I'm not well-versed in those Fords, so what would make that car a one-year only car vs the '33 and '34 cars, which I believe were built on the same platform?
I am rather knowledgeable about '58 Chevies. Why would that be considered a one-year only car?

'68-71 for the Super Bee. I guess I'm back to being confused on what's qualifying.

I'll have to look again maybe I was mistaking it for something else...

Returning to what I know. My favorite Mopar is a '67 Dodge Dart. I've owned 13 A-body Mopars, with several being a '67-'69 Dart. One I had was a '67 Dart GT convertible withe the 383 and 4-speed out of a '69 Road Runner. Pistol grip shifter, too. The 8 3/4" rear end was loaded with a 3.91 Sure-Grip. Talk about a fun car to drive. It's a wonder I didn't lose my license.
There is nothing from a 31 or 33 on a 32. It is completely different. Also there is no similarly of the 58 to the 57 or 59.
Take a look at the chassis on a 58 and a 59
The only real difference between the '58 through '64 frames are body mount locations, and the '58 had unique rear control arms, mainly the rear upper which was a Y-arm vs the standard straight arms of '59-64. Engine/trans choices were essentially the same '58-60.
The '58 is a somewhat unique car in that it does not swap any sheet metal/trim with any other year, but it's still the X-frame platform of '58-'64. The other years might swap floor pans (59-60, 61-62, 63-64), but it's very limited.
This was always my favorite square body Chevy P/U. When I was stationed in Germany back in the mid 80's I had a toy truck that looked like this. My son was only 3 months old when I bought it for HIM.... ya right. I played with it more than he did.
Nope. Which make me sad and now they are another rig that's gotten priced out of my range.
I know what that's about. I bought my Impalas right before they took off in price, so I got the cars, but parts went sky-high for years. Personally, I think the market will soon turn and bring these ridiculously priced vehicles back down. Maybe you can scoop one up then.
You'll need something to pull your Jeep around, or maybe the Jeep can pull it.

I had a chance about 10 years ago but had other obligations. I'd love to have one to yank the Jeep around with.

'68 was a great year for American automotive design. Mopar B-bodies (Charger, Road Runner, etc.), GM's A-bodies (Malibu, Skylark, Cutlass, etc.), AMC's Javelins and AMX cars, and Ford's Torino come to mind. All had fairly substantial changes from the previous year's offerings, and of course, the AMC ones were altogether new.

There's something about those Torinos that I just like.
I've always liked the '68-'72 Torinos. I owned a '72 Torino Sport. Love the styling.
